Portfolio work gives you the opportunity to show your uniqueness as a language learner and a cultured individual. In addition to writing about your experiences of different cultural genres or showing your creative side as a writer, portfolio work will also introduce you to some interesting pieces of English literature. When compiling your portfolio, you can work on whatever interests you as long as it is connected with the topics of Course 5, namely the broad spectrum of culture.
Also bear in mind that you should not break any copyright laws by copy-pasting material directly from the internet or any other source. Instead, express what you have read in your own words and include the sources you used at the end of your work (eg www.wikipedia.com).
